Abstract
A voltage converter () is disclosed, which comprises a controller () operable in: a first mode to control the voltage converter so as to convert an input voltage (V) at an input () of the voltage converter to an output voltage (V) at an output () of the voltage converter; and a second mode, in which the controller () is configurable by configuration control signals () so as to change the control applied by the controller to the voltage converter. The voltage converter () also includes a power module () arranged to derive and supply an operation voltage (V) to the controller (), the power module () being arranged to derive the operation voltage from the input voltage (V) during operation of the controller () in the first mode, and a voltage source () other than the input voltage (V) during operation of the controller () in the second mode. There is also described herein a power supply system comprising one or more such voltage converters, and a method of configuring the power supply system.
